LINK Nun sentenced to prison after stealing $835,000 from Catholic school to go gambling
You know the Department of Justice wrote the opening of this press release with some glee because of how many juicy details they were able to pack into it.
A nun who was the principal of a Catholic elementary school in Torrance was sentenced today to 12 months and one day in federal prison for stealing more than $835,000 in school funds to pay for personal expenses, including gambling trips.

Gambling can become a disease. If I had riches to where I could spend that much money on gambling I would not do it. I do gamble, but very little. No boats, no casinos, no card playing, etc.

I think that applies to Buddhist priests. Or, possibly, catholic ones on Fridays.
@Beowulfsfriend Catholic priests are forbidden to marry, don’t know if that applies to the Bootie priests.
@CuddyCruiser They don't marry, but sex isn't taboo. Some men in Thailand do a two year "stint" as a priest. A couple Olympics ago, a Thai businessman left his job to do a priesthood stint after his son won Thailand's first gold medal.
Aside - funny story that I heard and believe. While in the Navy my ship went to Thailand, while many stayed in the local area I went to Bangkok and did real tourist stuff (I could drink, etc in the Philippines). Anyway, a group of officers were at a bar when a lady of the night sat on the Catholic priest's lap and offered her services. He said, "But I'm a priest." To which she responded, "That's OK, I give you discount just like Buddhist priest."
Sentenced to prison for 1 year and 1 day, that is one frigging sick joke imo.
Should have the FULL Allowable by Law sentence, NO leniency, NO reduction. etc, JUST because she's Nun.
Imo, this was a PRIME chance for Justice to STATE loudly and Clearly " We will no longer tolerate the kind of culture that the religions have developed for themselves where THEY can do anything they so desire and NOT be called to book."

I suppose there is less shame in gambling with one's freedom than there is in having sex with the local priest.

Maybe she could have won it all back, if only she prayed to the saint of gamblers, St. Cajetan (yea, I had to look - I knew there would be one though).

Oh yes, them Catlikkers have got themselves a Saint for absolutely everything.
Probably one for WHICH leg to pull your trousers up on first, how many stirs of your coffee will invoke the Saint so he can watch over you for time the between each coffee, etc, etc.
You would think, if there was, a merciful all powerful god would have allowed her to win.
Not all nuns are saints I see.
